Dividend Income Update - July 2015

Each month I will post dividends received to keep track of earned passive income. Opening a new position or adding to an existing position on a regular basis causes increases in income on a monthly or quarterly basis.

I began investing in September 2014 and my 1st stock was Apple Inc on 9/22/2014. I'm beginning to experience a wee bit of the snowball effect. Many a drop, makes an ocean.

July 2015 Dividends -  

Macy's Inc (M) - $5.40

Walt Disney Co (DIS) - $13.20

Cisco Systems Inc (CSCO) - $7.35

W.P. Carey (WPC) - $15.26

Total dividends received during the month of June: $41.21

I did not have dividend earnings in July 2014 and hence cannot do a %increase comparison.
